What 343 needs to get away from for Halo 5

I dont know about everyone else out there but ever since 343 took over in March 2012 with the TU update and Heavies on Reach everything has gone down hill. Now that isnt to say that BTB Heavies wasnt fun sometimes but i mean sometimes you just want to play some good old vanilla BTB and not to have to worry about all the Noobs grabbing the tank,mantis,ect just to run out and get blown to a million pieces. Halo 4 comes and armour lock is taken out (yay actually would have been useful here) and now we have the one shot kill rifle and the fire and forget cannon. Now we look at the game types…all about just killing the other team…nice! ok so after shooting and killing 25,000 spartans now what game kinda suck gets boring time to go screw around in Action Sack…wait that is only more killing no fun game types like reach offered where is the ninja jug from halo 3? We have lost all these game types though we have gained new ones from people forging the basis of(in my opinion) halo is based on not the Multiplayer honestly when the ad for it came up I couldn’t care less I dont buy these games to be the best I play them for fun.(aka Entertainment) Now back to forging Halo 3 people loved forge so Bunge listening to the halo community introduced Reach forge world expanding it. 343 comes along for halo 4 and decides they are going to toss forging out entirely, what happens now? Huge uproar from the community that people looking forward to the forging deciding to not buy halo 4 enough that the finally put in some small forging worlds. So now to anyone who reads this if you were to browse Youtube how many results regarding the halo multiplayer competition would come up if i searched “Halo” compared to any forged maps and gametypes? Now why would we be aiming toward the multiplayer experience compared to making and expanding the forging opportunities.

until 343 changes their targeted players from the multiplayer competitives to the everyday players I can only say “343 makes better movies than they do video games”

What I got from the Word Wall was that you think 343 should just drop Forge completely because you tired of playing Slayer-esque game types only? And btw, the Gundam (Mantis) wasn’t in Reach.

You kinda ramble off and it is very hard to understand what point you’re trying to make.

  1. No more BTB Heavies
    or
  2. No more Slayer Variants
    or
  3. Take out forge/+Maps
    or
  4. 343 should focus MORE on Casuals
    or
  5. 343 shouldn’t focus on MP, but making the whole game fun(entertaining)(?)
    or
  6. You think 343 is better at making Movies than Games

While I do agree that 343 screwed the pooch when it came to game types that weren’t Infinity, and even went to an extent to remove certain playlists like Dominion and KotH, they did add some oddball and lightning CTF game types if I remember correctly.

That’s all I can get out of it. I think they focused enough on Casuals to an extent that Halo 4 dropped even MORE of Halo’s vanishing competitive players. Besides non slayer game types are generally played to be competitive. If not, you’d never win. But since you earn Spartan Points/XP for just showing up, that shouldn’t be an issue to casuals.

As for Youtube, I’m sure I’d get a few hits from Beyonce’s song ‘Halo’, some Trailers, Gameplays, and Forge Maps (if I’m lucky)

  1. Yes
    2)No they have enough MP slayer GT as it is need to focus on other gametypes
    3)No meant that they need to expand because 60% or more of the community forge weather it be to adjust a map or complete new map creations. Fans love new stuff so then less maps to create keeps players happy with changing maps for longer.
    4)Yes most of the people I know that forge and play are casual players who like to build and be creative rather than competitive
    5)refer back to #4
  2. Yes in my opinion yes
